This website is now running on CentOs 6 rather than Ubuntu. I changed because the server control panel I was using was quite naff, and I was paying for it. I have chosen a different CP and needed a fresh installation of the OS and apparently the CP I am now using runs best on CentOs. Actually, I learned that apparently CentOs is the most popular Linux server software being used, 30% of active Linux servers are CentOs. You learn something every day eh!
It will be a few days before all is back to normal but at least the site is up and running. 
Problem with video not working at the moment .

Could I possess the tinker’s abilities for preaching, your majesty I would gladly relinquish all my learning
John Owen replying to the King of England at that time, regarding a man called John Bunyan, as to why he listened to him.
Reminds me of John 10:20 …
Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?
Gospel of John 10:20 ESV
I think one Bible version uses the words, “he is raving mad” with regards to that passage of Scripture.
Reminds me of this to.
And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.” But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words. For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am–except for these chains.”
Acts of the Apostles 26:24-29 ESV

Some photos at Col d’Aubisque…
Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
Book of Psalms 50: 7-11 ESV
And some video as well…
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Pauls letter to the Romans 1 : 20-23 ESV

You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Letter of James 4 :4 ESV
It’s difficult to allow comments on the posts here because only a few really understand what the Bible says about Scripture. The few being the Elect I guess.
Looking for an image to stick here, but proving difficult to find a good one.
This will help if you have some imagination. Just work on the poles a bit.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T’was Grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares…
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far…
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures.
When we’ve been here ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
John Henry Newton 1725 – 1807
Hard to beat Elvis Presley singing this one whether you like it or not. Truly an inspirational tune From J H. Newton.

Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”
Gospel of Luke 8:18 ESV
Loads more to say on this one day, God willing.

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all life thou givest—to both great and small;
In all life thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish—but naught changeth thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render: O help us to see
’Tis only the splendour of light hideth thee.
W. C. Smith 1824 – 1908
